Thanks for slowing down St. Clair traffic

•No Name: “Thanks to the St. Clair Police Department and the Sheriff Department for handing out a bunch of tickets here on River Road when it’s 45 mph and they’re doing 65. Keep up the good work.”

Dan: “The finals for drive, pitch and putt contest will be televised from Augusta National on Sunday, April 1, at 8 a.m. This is a national competition for boys and girls ages 7 to 15. This year, Georgia Bosart from Oxford will be competing. Georgia is the granddaughter of locals Judith Friend-Delacy and Steve and Jackie Delacy. Tune in or tape it and cheer Georgia on.”

•No Name: “I would like to know what you do with your old spray cans, like old painting stuff and hairspray cans. Some people have said they put them in their trash pickup but I don’t know if that’s OK.”

If the can is empty, toss it out with your household wastes. If the can isn’t empty and contains a hazardous substance — such as paint or pesticides — it should be treated as a hazardous material. Call (810) 989-6981 to arrange for disposal.

•Joann from Lakeport: “Two questions: Michigan coach John Beilein went to Germany to recruit Moe Wagner to play basketball. Do athletes get preferential treatment enabling them to come to the U.S.? And when his playing days are over at U-of-M, will he have to go back to Germany?”

Yes, there are specific visas for highly skilled athletes. No, everyone expects him to extend his visa and play in the NBA.

•Dennis: “I see Port Huron Treatment Plant dumping waste water into the Black River again with less than 0.4 inches of rain. Maybe it is time to build a storage tank to hold any overflow instead of polluting the rivers, lakes and beaches south of the Black River. They have been dumping for years, of course, in compliance. That’s supposed to make it all right. Let’s ask the public in southern Michigan, Ontario and Ohio that live along the waterways what they think.”

•Carolyn from Port Huron: “I can’t understand why the city would be looking at resurrecting this idea for a park and a pavilion in place of the Art Van building. We need parking. Why don’t they understand that?”

•No Name from Port Huron: “I do not own a gun and am not a CPL person but I know better than to ever carry a $100 bill to any store to buy something that would not use up most of that money. Wow, that is a very irrational thought, in my opinion. Asking for trouble.”
